Wisborough Green: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Wisborough Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Wisborough Green have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wisborough Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Wisborough Green?
Yes, Wisborough Green is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
After we’ve finished in Wisborough Green
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

DIY and asbestos

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you run a business from older premises in Wisborough Green, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Wisborough Green is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
